Startime is an Australian television series which aired 1962 to 1963. A Sydney-produced variety series with emphasis on music, it was hosted by John Laws and produced by ATN-7, with the series shown interstate (such as on HSV-7 in Melbourne). In Sydney it aired each Saturday at 7:30PM in a 60 minute timeslot.[1] It was produced by American Gil Rodin, and was seen as a follow-up to the Revue '62 series.[2]
Despite having aired in an era where music shows were often wiped, a large number of episodes of the series are held by the National Film and Sound Archive.[3]
